Where do Hindus under persecution go?

5) If your concerns are about illegal immigrants not being welcomed in India and you are looking at it from US context then STOP! I don't know
about your views on impact of illegal immigration in the US. For us there is a difference between refugees seeking asylum and illegal
immigrants. India, a developing country, is almost 1/3rd the size of USA with over
3 times the population. We have scarcity of resources and
cannot afford to support hordes of economic migrants. The latter take away from Indians on the lowest rung of the economic ladder, irrespective
of religion. You'll find most Indian Muslims agreeing to this too. For many decades govts have provided many subsidies/benefits to the citizens
which had to be claimed by showing certain documents. Voter IDs have been mandatory too to ensure free & fair elections. We have battled
security threats from the neighbourhood for a very long time too. We have a multi-party system with strong regional parties. We are in effect a
country of countries which is both a boon and a bane for us. Vote bank politics/preserving vote banks takes a whole together different dimension
in India and every political party is guilty of this. We all have our own baggages & ouexperiences shape our historical perspectives, something
that has always been exploited by sparring political parties. Our complexities should not be looked at solely from the perspective of a western
experience/mindset.

Partition was done on the basis of Muslims and Hindus not being able to live together. The fear of riots and chaos.

Why trade with Pakistan then?
Why invite or have Pakistani actors in Indian movies?

If you're able to coexist through movies and entertainment then why create a separate country?

How are Indian Muslims different to Pakistani Muslims?
They both read the Quran?

A separate country was created for Muslims, while India has a large Muslim population, which means partition was pointless

The right to have maximum rights in a nation is citizenship. It is a coveted status which guarantees the provision of identity, opportunities and security to an individual. Under the present Indian legal regime, illegal immigrants are deported under the Citizenship Act 1955 and the Foreigners Act 1946. The Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019, hereinafter CAA 2019, amends the Citizenship Act 1955, to grant a certain class of illegal immigrants Indian citizenship. The CAA makes immigrants, who entered India on or before 31st December 2014, eligible for Indian citizenship if they belong to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian community, are facing religious persecution and are from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan.[1] Furthermore, the Amending Act has been a prominent point of discord among the Indian citizenries.

Immediately after the bill was passed the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) moved the Honourable Supreme Court of India such that the constitutional validity of CAA 2019 was challenged.[2] Following this, 200 petitions were tagged to the IUML petition. The petitions mainly charged the CAA 2019 of being violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. Moreover, on 28th May 2021 the government of India issued an interim order u/s 16 of the Citizenship Act 1955 giving district collectors in 13 districts the power to accept citizenship in accordance with the provisions of the Citizenship Act 1955 read with CAA 2019. In turb, the IUML approached the Supreme Court on 1 June 2021 seeking a stay order. Thus with one side of the debate calling it pernicious, racist and full of religious bigotry and the other side strongly supporting it, it becomes crucial to view the scenario from a non-political perspective and thereby understand its necessity, which is what this blog aspires to cover.

I agree too...Where else are Hindus suppose to go if they are attacked?
India needs to speed this up on all accounts!
